I gotta agree with Hoosiermama. That alpha male stuff makes me nauseous. I have a feeling any man who really did it would see skid marks in the driveway.
I think it has its place. If I had to generalize, I'd say that the modern Western (particularly American) male HAS gotten too feminized, and needs to be stronger. I've focused my own personal efforts on these boards, in fact, toward helping exhort weaker men to make a stand of personal integrity, learn to draw and enforce boundaries, and to generally not do the "Little Bo-Peep" approach ("leave them alone, and they'll come home, wagging their tails behind them.").
That is in GENERAL. I do think that every relationship needs to be judged on its own dynamics, however, and I also think that a lot of Deida is just so much hooey.
